I need help in knowing how to deal with the anger inside after finding porn magazines of my brother-in-law’s and father-in-law’s in the room we are staying in right now. We can’t move out till we have our tax return and I have had such headaches since finding them yesterday. I don’t feel right confronting because I am so angry. I’m angry at my father-in-law for leading his boys (including my husband) into porn. It has come up several times in our marriage, the last incident being an emotional, online relationship. I’m tired and need some support. I don’t know what setting loving boundaries and still being committed to my husband look like right now. He has repented, but now the issue is with his dad and brother who haven’t. Are there any support groups in GR or anything that would help with all this? Thanks so much and may God bless your ministry! Esther

I recently found out that my boyfriend has struggled with porn and masturbation since a young age. He has an accountability partner, as well as a program on his computer, but his still slips up and uses his phone sometimes. Is this something I should be extremely worried about? I guess I have been extremely naive, and I didn’t know until recently how many people actually struggle with porn and masturbation. Is this a big enough problem that I should end our relationship? He told me that he was told by another man that he would struggle with masturbation for the rest of his life, and he has seen other godly men in his church struggle with it. He told me that while he believes God could set him free, he doesn’t think he could ever be completely free since he has seen so many other Christian men struggle with the same thing. How can I help him without being condemning? I have forgiven him for it, but I want to know what I should do now.
You need to continue to support him and encourage him in his recovery. He really needs to get accountability and bring someone, other than you into this battle and get soild accountability with his sturggles.
He will always have temptation to deal with but, if he does not learn how to deal with them he will always be falling off the wagon. He needs to retrain his brain to know how to react to these temptations.
We have several books and resources on the site for him to use. Please know that you are not alone in this and that we will be praying for you.
My spouse is struggling with a sexual addiction and has since he was an early teen. He has tried men’s groups and had gone a full year before recently relapsing worse into his sexual addiction. I feel cheated on and hurt when he does this and I know that he wants out. What can I do, as his spouse, to help him get out of his addiction for good? Thank you, Nicole
